Description:
This seminar investigates how a multimodal perspective can provide insights into learning in the early years. Young children are surrounded by, engage with, interpret and express meanings communicated in a huge variety of ways. As they interact with others, explore everyday objects and play, meanings are made, for example, in looking, running, holding, making graphic marks, acting out, and so on, as well as speech. Based on research video data gathered in the nursery, the Reception class and the home, we will explore how a multimodal approach to qualitative analysis can inform our interpretation and understanding of early learning. Opportunities for debate encourage participants to reflect on associated issues and to contribute their own interests and concerns.
